Dec 05 2023

Outstanding southern rock. Really like the feel of “things goin on” reminds me of my favorite zeppelin song “boogie with Stu” with the honky tonk style piano. The north Mississippi hill country blues feel to “Mississippi kid” drew me in As well. Not to mention the huge number of famous hit songs.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Dec 06 2023

Classic electronic industrial peaks and valleys of thick textured sounds and stripped down rhythm. Thank you Trent

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Dec 11 2023

Would not have normally picked this one. Great harmonies and neat to realize they sing California dreamin’

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Dec 13 2023

I am probably missing something and hopefully someone will fill me in. Seemed like gun culture, fear and misogyny were the main themes

Odessa by Bee Gees

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Aug 30 2024
